Two Day Workshop on Small Group Dynamics: Friday 13th and Saturday 14th, May 2011
The purpose of the workshop is to provide participants with a small group experience in which they can explore and develop their capacity to work effectively with the underlying issues in management team functioning.
Participants will have an opportunity to examine the roles they have been given in organisations and those that they find themselves taking up; what happens to them in their role and what happens to their authority and leadership.
